Chapter 658 The Devourer

'I'm in my Fox form? H-how?' Lee Seng thought. His eyes fluttered with energy, notifying him of the Number 11 tattoo on his chest. It burned brightly. 'What happened? I evolved? How's that possible?' The AI's screen popped up, showing him everything that had changed.

"My skills… Even my class changed…" Lee Seng whispered. "Cosmos evolved into Devourer… Did I really get most of the Protocol's power?"

"It seems it worked!" Elven shouted. Lee Seng looked up from the screen, pushing it off to the corner where he couldn't pay attention to it. Eleven was standing near the oasis.

"How did I get up here?" Lee Seng whispered. The Soul world felt different. He didn't know how but this place seemed less chaotic.

"No thank you?" Eleven frowned. "I surely thought you would thank me after what I did for you! I guess that's what I get for being nice. Doesn't really fit me all that well! Anyways, we don't have time for any of this! I need you to leave before its too late!"

"Leave? What do you mean?" Lee Seng asked.

"Don't you hear it? It's coming." Eleven cocked his head. Lee Seng looked around, noticing red energy oozing off the ground. When Lee Seng noticed it, Eleven nodded his head. "It's coming for you and I. We both don't have the power to get rid of that thing but I can hold it while you escape from that prison."

"You'll just take me over while I'm busy!" Lee Seng shouted.

"Like I said, I rather bend to your will than them! I'll hold off the mutt from taking you over so you can get out of the prison! Good luck getting out of it though!"

"W-what do you mean?" Lee Seng stuttered. Eleven lifted his hand and ushered Lee Seng over. Gravity wrapped around Lee Seng, pulling him towards Eleven, who flicked his finger towards the Oasis.

"Get us out first so we can fight later!" Eleven watched Lee Seng plunge into the Oasis disappearing. The red energy grew as a loud growl was heard. Eleven looked up into the sky, smile fading. "I gave him most of the Protocol. You better be glad I did that… Now I hope he kicks your ass."

The large rod buzzed with energy as Lee Seng flashed back to reality. All of his strength flooded back into him. His eyes pulsed as his body swirled with energy. Queen's eyes narrowed as a serious expression washed over her enthused face.

"What's happening?" Queen asked. "He's gathering so much energy out of nowhere. What happened?!?" She whipped her head over to Michael who shook his head.

"I'm not sure, my Queen! H-he…" Michael began to stutter.

The harnesses ripped  off with ease as Lee Seng flipped himself onto his feet. The large rod was reaching its climax. He smiled and pulled the harnesses off of his wrists.

"That feels much better." Lee Seng whispered to himself. "Now to leave."

"Get him!" Queen shouted.

"Yes, my lady." Queenie and Neo nodded. Queenie lifted her hand, wind whipping as a smile grew on her face.

"Can I kill him?" Queenie asked.

"Harm him as much as you want. Don't kill." Queen ordered.

"Great!" Wind exploded from Queenie's hand as Neo's aura formed into a Wolf.

"Go." Neo ordered. The wolf pulled from its master, rushing at Lee Seng.

"Shit!" Lee Seng lifted his hand, a gold-black veil appearing in front of him. Wind slammed against the veil, not cracking right away as he pushed back. The aura wolf snarled as it lashed forward. Lee Seng instinctively jumped backwards, falling away as a beam of energy flew straight through the wolf, dissolving it to bits.

"Tch." Neo flicked his hands as four more wolves appeared. "Get him!" The wolves roared as they rushed through the air for Lee Seng. A blast of wind flew straight for Lee Seng knocking him out of his hovering spot and into the ceiling with a loud thud. Lee Seng fell with the debris, catching himself as the wolves jumped onto him.

Black and grey Fox tails exploded into existence, growing into shields as the wolves slammed against it. The tails pushed back, forcing the wolves away.

"What is this?" Queenie asked.

"Six tails. I thought he only had four." Queen commented. "Queenie, go."

"Yes, mother." Queenie blasted off, wind rippling off her legs and feet. "You're mine!"

"Pack Tactics: Howling." Neo whispered. The iris grew yellow as his pupil grew into a large vertical black slit. Neo stepped forward, howling with the wolves. The wolves and Queenie glowed. Queenie cackled as she slammed against the tail, pushing it away.

"You're not getting away!" Queenie cackled. She threw a punch, wind slicing Lee Seng's arm.

'Golden Eclipse.' A black energy wrapped around Lee Seng, forming a strange skintight suit around him with fiery gold energy billowing off of him. The wound instantly healed as Keng threw a punch. A tri-colored mouth of black, silver and gold formed off his punch, missing Queenie as she dodged to the right.

Queenie jabbed punches at Lee Seng before pulling herself away. The wind punches slammed against Lee Seng forcing him backwards as his tails pulled back to their original position.

'This is the first time I'm actually fighting the real one. I have to be careful!' Queenie thought.

"You can't be as bad as your Foxy companion, no?" Queenie asked. Lee Seng's eyes narrowed. The wolves leapt forward as Lee Seng slashed the air. The tri-colored energy connected with the wolves, tearing apart one of the wolves in an instant. The other wolves flew backwards, sliding in the air.

"So he's here?" Lee Seng smiled. Queenie's smile faded.

"I killed him!" Queenie instantly grinned again. "And I'll kill you next!"

"You're lying." Lee Seng told her. "I would know if he died." An arm raised and pointed at Queenie. The tri-colored energy of Devourer grew into a black ball as Lee Seng's ruby and sapphire eyes flared with the tri-colored energy around his pupils. "Bursting Darkness." Black balls of devouring energy shot out like pellets. Queenie grunted as she dodged to the side, barely missing one. A Bursting Darkness connected with her, sending her into the ground as Neo lifted his hand into a half-prayer form.

"Protection." A shield flew over Queen, Michael, Neo and Queen. The energy dusted as Lee Seng turned his hand and pointed behind him.

"Gravitum: Cosmic Portal." The tri-colored energy rushed outwards, forming a large enough portal for Lee Seng to move into.

"Howling Abyss!" Neo shouted. The three wolf energies rushed forward, splitting into beams of light. They arced straight for Lee Seng as he stepped into the portal. A couple arcs of light flew straight into the portal before it closed.

Lee Seng tumbled, grunting as the stray energy shots pierced his back. He tumbled onto the street, sliding on his chest, face and arms for thirty feet before stopping. He groaned as his body came to a stop.

"Ouch." Lee Seng groaned. His tails fell onto him, covering him as he slowly raised his head to look around. The cold air nipped at him as snow fell. It was early morning and he was in the city! Lee Seng pushed himself up, noticing the large indentation in the road where he slid. He wiped himself off, tails falling into place as he checked for anyone.

'It's quiet here. What time is it?' Lee Seng wondered. His arms and legs grew heavy from the Negative. He bit his lip as he endured it and forced himself to move. 'I need to get away from here before anything else happens.'

"There you are." A small voice spoke. Lee seng turned only to feel something enter his head. He flew backwards, landing on the concrete. Smoke billowed out of the gun as a small girl lowered it. "To think you got out with one swift move. It'll be hard for you to run, Spawn."

She raised the gun and pulled the trigger a couple more times. The bullets entered Lee Seng's body, oozing blood and not healing.

'What is this?' Lee Seng thought. 'I can't… move?'

"I guess even you feel it." The little girl chuckled. She took a step forward, keeping the gun pointed at Lee Seng. "My power saps you of your energy so I guess someone as strong as you would feel it, too. Everyone does."

A low growl came from Lee Seng's left ear. Red energy oozed out of him as he screamed in pain. His arms flew to his face, trying to rip something off as the little girl watched.

"What is he doing? He can move after that? I guess I was wrong about you, but I need to take you in." She shot four more shots at him. The bullets bounced off of an invisible force field bouncing to the ground. Her eyes narrowed as Lee Seng screamed louder.

'I lied.' Eleven chuckled. 'I only need you to get out. Now… Enjoy the mutt, human!'
